Attukad Waterfalls
ആറ്റുകാട് വെള്ളച്ചാട്ടം
A multi-tiered waterfall between tea hills and forest. Water is fullest after the rains, and it is an easy hike to the south of town.
The falls lie between Munnar and Pallivasal, about 9 km from the town center. Water cascades in tiers between tea hills and wooded slopes. Water volume peaks during and just after the monsoon, and is thinner in the dry season.
You can view the falls from a roadside lookout, or walk down from a nearby tea garden path to the pool below, a round trip of about 1 hour. Entry is free. During the monsoon the rocks are slippery, so stay away from the water's edge. The falls are often visited together with Pothamedu Viewpoint.
